Chapter 129: Chapter 129

As he spoke, Simon Hawthorne quickly dragged the thief away and called 911.

At that moment, the thief showed a grateful expression towards him, looking genuine and sincere.

Simon Hawthorne sighed, "I know it’s not easy for you. Make sure you reform yourself in the future, okay? Otherwise, if you encounter my sister-in-law again, it might be your end."

Paige Sterling really doesn’t hold back when she hits someone.

Sometimes Simon Hawthorne suspects his brother might be suffering domestic violence from Paige at home.

But he’s afraid to ask, because his brother is proud, and if he exposes his family’s wounds and makes him lose face, what if he kills him?

After all, his brother is quite ruthless towards him.

Paige saw Simon Hawthorne dragging a thief, his expression changing like he was performing an annual drama series, looking speechless, and turned towards the elevator.

Just then, Henry Hale pushed open the car door and got out of the car.

He called out to Paige, "Miss Sterling."

Paige turned around to look at Henry Hale. She naturally knew him, after all, Henry Hale wasn’t as low-key as Julian and often appeared online for everyone to see.

He and Austin Xavier, Angus Langdon, and others were even rated by netizens as the few young talents of Jarrow with both looks and talent, but Paige forgot.

In short, he has many admirers online, and Apex even used him to advertise.

Henry Hale gave Paige a smile, elegant and humble.

Compared to his sister, he’s indeed reserved and composed, making it hard for people to see through his thoughts.

"Miss Sterling, I’ve heard so much about you."

"What’s the oldest son of the Hale Family looking for me for?"

Henry Hale walked up to Paige, observing her closely for the first time and realized Paige looked different from her TV appearance.

Her skin was very fair, but a healthy kind of fairness, with eyes that were dark and bright, slightly tilted at the corners, always carrying a kind of aloofness that doesn’t like to bother with people.

Henry Hale’s gaze was very subtle, even when observing, it was done without a trace, making one not feel offended at all.

So Paige let him observe.

After a while, Henry Hale smiled and said, "I greatly admire Miss Sterling."

Paige’s face was expressionless, "I quite admire myself too."

She felt like Henry Hale was talking nonsense, "I remember I seemed to have beaten your sister to a cripple, so technically you should admire me."

Probably still wanting to kill me.

Henry Hale was momentarily baffled by Paige’s logic, but then heard Paige say: Fresh chapters posted on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩

"But people with such a level of appreciation like you are rare these days."

Paige added, "So I’m telling you, don’t mess with me, otherwise next time, it’s either you or me ending up crippled."

Henry Hale opened his mouth, "Miss Sterling, you..."

Julian came out of the elevator and saw Paige and Henry Hale standing facing each other, seeming to be talking.

Henry Hale’s gaze at Paige at that moment made Julian very uncomfortable.

He slightly raised his voice, "Beau."

Paige looked over, Julian softened his tone, "Come here."

Paige walked towards Julian.

She was still cold, but the moment Julian called her Beau, her expression naturally softened.

Henry Hale noticed this and squinted his eyes.

And at that exact moment, Julian gave Henry Hale a warning look and quickly withdrew his gaze, focusing on Paige.

He pulled Paige’s hand over and asked, "What’s wrong with your hand?"

Paige then noticed that the spot on her hand’s knuckle was somewhat red, "Oh, earlier at the parking lot, I encountered a thief trying to steal a car and just casually beat him a few times, maybe his bones were too hard and got knocked red."

The indifferent tone, as if she had just casually done a trivial little thing.

Henry Hale on the side, "..."

He still politely nodded at Julian.

But knowing Julian did not welcome him, and that his visit to find Paige might have already been very displeasing to Julian.

Henry Hale did not continue to make himself unwelcome and drove away.

A flash of coldness passed through Julian’s eyes, all the other members of the Hale Family were easy to deal with, except this Henry Hale...

Julian knew the Hale Family wouldn’t let it go, it’s not just a matter related to Helen, but also about face.

Because families like the Hale Family always let others suffer losses, and can’t tolerate their own losses.

Just give them an opportunity, and they will seize it relentlessly.

At this moment Julian heard Paige say, "By the way, Simon got beaten into the hospital by that thief, let’s go see him."

Julian responded, "Okay."

Earlier, Simon called for an ambulance himself—actually mainly for the thief.

At this moment, Simon probably didn’t want Paige to mention him, after all, Paige could easily beat down the thief, but he was uselessly beaten by the thief, no need to mention how embarrassing it was.

Henry Hale returned to the Hale Family.

Regarding this incident, the Hale Family naturally was unwilling to accept it, and wouldn’t let go if there was an opportunity.

However, there indeed was no immediate opportunity, so everyone in the Hale Family was holding their breath.

Henry Hale sat on the sofa and listened to them talk for a while before saying indifferently, "I heard there are some grudges between the Hawthorne Family and the Sterling Family."

Dad Hale looked at Henry Hale, "It’s said so, but no one knows exactly what grudges, and besides..."

Dad Hale said, "Now that the children of both families are married, it can be seen that the talk of grudges is groundless."

Henry Hale smiled, "If there’s no grudge, why was their marriage so low-key?"

For families like them, when two families marry, who wouldn’t make it grand and widely known?

But these two families handled it like it was nothing.

Henry Hale’s words made Old Master Hale and Dad Hale feel it made sense.

Henry Hale took a sip of tea and said, "I happened to find out something. Maybe we can use this to make a bit of an article."

Now, he can’t touch Paige, but it’s always possible to add a bit of trouble to her.

Shaun Jones drove Paige and Julian to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, Simon Hawthorne was just being pushed out of the observation room, and his head was even covered with a white cloth.

Plus, the doctor’s expression was somewhat solemn when pushing Simon Hawthorne out, it was all quite a sad scene.

Shaun Jones didn’t know how badly Simon Hawthorne was injured, and seeing this scene, he was a bit dumbstruck and immediately looked at Julian.

Even though President Hawthorne remained expressionless, Shaun Jones knew he must be both furious and heartbroken, given his only brother had been beaten to death by a small-time thief.

Shaun Jones sighed and lowered his voice.

"President Hawthorne, my condolences."

Julian still remained expressionless.

Shaun Jones thought President Hawthorne was grieving so much that he’d lost his reaction.

Seems like the aftermath of the Second Young Master’s passing will have to be organized by him.

Shaun Jones thoughtfully said, "I’ll call and inform the friends and relatives of the Hawthorne Family right away, and will also contact the funeral home, President Hawthorne, please take care of your health."

Julian finally spoke.

"Secretary Jones, are you nuts?"

"Huh?", Shaun Jones was really confused, President Hawthorne was indeed grief-stricken to the point of cracking jokes?

But then, the white cloth was suddenly lifted from inside, revealing Simon Hawthorne’s expressionless face.

Shaun Jones was so startled, he jumped directly behind Paige.

"Madam! It’s a corpse coming to life! Save me!"
